I think I remember reading these settings get wiped after reboot. And it looks like he was asking something else.

I would probably use audacity to edit the files. Very easy to use.
[Vibrant General] Col.Kernel:
Your best bet is to get an audio file editor, grab Linda off your phone and give her a 10 db gain, then put her back. If this gets you close but you still want to fiddle, edit the file again and give it either a 3 db or -3db gain.

This should be a permanent fix.

Your kernel determines your touch capabilities. Stock supports two.

Change to a kernel that supports more inputs if you really want it.

I'm not sure if any devs are working on this or is it even possible? Does a tablet usually get any roms or anything custom to it as much as phones are?
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Do you mean Deodexed? Yes I'm sure people are working on it, and there is definitely tablet dev work being done. The device is knew though you're gonna have to give it some time. The Xoom is already rooted, so its only a matter of time before we have custom ROMs coming I'm sure.

Yea lol that's what I meant. Cool cool. I'm not really sure how the development goes for tablet. I'm usually on my Droid x. I'm really happy with this tablet and its my first one.!

I notice when viewing images on the internet, that the there is a lot of banding in the images and that the color depth looks pretty low 256 colors?

does anyone know if the HD7 display is even 16, 24, or 32 bit color?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
I've noticed the color banding only happens on webpages in IE. If you look at a photo in or any image anywhere else in the platform, it looks just fine and I don't see any banding.

It has something to do with the way that WP7 IE renders pages. My guess is that the turned down image quality a little bit so that it can stay so fast and fluid.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
this is true at least for what IE renders. We discovered this at work especially with alpha channels not overlaying as well as it should.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambu1:
yeah, i guess it is only in IE, which still sucks, browsers i used on my android phones didnt cheap out on the bits... IE also seems to load pages slowly, they start loading fast, but then hang on the last 10% for a while...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
True, Android and iOS do not seem to mess with the quality of images much, but, neither of those browsers scroll/pan/zoom and fluidly as Windows Phone 7. So it seems to be a trade-off of sorts.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
it will be interesting to see what the quality is like when IE9 mobile comes.

That I can understand :)

I couldn't get on with the basic android keyboard (it's like the WP7 keyboard) missing numbers off the top row etc so installed swype, and while the numbers are in the wrong place, it did make typing easier, especially when on the move.

Much as I like the Sense keyboard I think I'm going to go back to swype simply for ease of use.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelscarn:

Messagease is the best alternative keyboard. Since the buttons are very big, accuracy is great. If you find yourself hitting backspace a lot, or correcting stupid autocomplete picks a lot, try it. There's also a messagease game at the market to help you get faster with it too.

*cool swiftkey launcher

*"minimize" shortcut

I have three android devices with three different size screens and I use three different keyboards. I don't think there is one best keyboard but swiftkey is very good with autocorrect but the themes are pretty amateur except for the white. I like smartkeyboard pro for its themes, ability to precisely customised key height and it's ability to calibrate key presses.

I think if you are a big texter you will hate swype.

The samsung keyboard that came with the froyo update to the epic has T9 as well.

I wanted to use it, since I came from a rant, and I used the front keys 98% of the time. I found myself back on Swype in less than two days. It's easier to get the right word since you don't have to be exact, and it's faster since you don't have to correct mistakes. The word box pops up, and you tap the word you wanted.
